It’s been a minute since I did an instagram outfit wrap up! This is a collection of some of my favourite looks from this winter! I think it’s safe to say I live in over-the-knee boots, the same thick gold hoops and Nike AF1’s. (more…)

At the end of April, Bata Shoes flew me and a bunch of guests from around the world to celebrate #BataFashionWeekend2018 in Milan, Italy. We had the most amazing few days learning about the brand, its initiatives and of course enjoying beautiful Milano. More than sharing what the latest designs by Bata are, they really brought us all the way to Italy to share their story with the world; they’re an affordable but high quality fashion force to be reckoned with, and to showcase that they do more than create school shoes and other footwear essentials. Here, in South Africa they’re synonymous with Toughee school shoes and Tomy Takkies, but on a global scale their range is diverse, stylish and filled with designs for every type of person and occasion, with a history dating back over 123 years.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! At least it is in the Muslim calendar. With half of Ramadan month already gone, so the stresses of Eid seep in. From “what are you wearing?” to “where will you be eating?”, the typical Eid questions have undoubtedly started making their rounds but thankfully, I’ve got you covered with some ideas, girls! In this blog post there are three outfit ideas and if you watch the YouTube Eid lookbook video at the end, in there you will find two more ideas. All of these looks are from Canal Walk, but many of these items you can find around South Africa and other parts of the globe (except for the locally-designed pieces). I made sure I mostly included items that you can wear over and over again and won’t just hang in your closet. Keep reading for my thoughts on each and why you should consider them. (more…)

I’ve had some of them for around a month now and I’ve been wearing them on rotation! Modest fashion may entail having to be covered but it doesn’t ever have to be boring. I hope you guys find this video useful and don’t let the need to be demure kill your style. (more…)

One of the best things about winter fashion is the ability to wear a fabulous pair of boots. I’ve always been a boots girl; I pretty much live in thigh-highs when it’s chilly, and the first major present my husband ever gifted me with when we just started dating was a delicious pair of leather boots. Most importantly though, a great pair of boots – be it simple or statement – is always the easiest way to update your wardrobe for the colder season. That being said, in today’s post I’ve teamed up with Spitz to share my top picks from their A/W18 collection, as well as tips for how to wear each of them! (more…)
